My f250 sold for way more than I thought it would (a few years ago). Checked craigslist and marketplace for a starting point on price. Listed near the high end, first guy to look at it handed me cash. You don’t have rust, should have asked more.... |

I asked more than I thought I would get. Didn't want stuck with it forever. I think I got lucky and found the right buyer first try. |

And it had the 7.3? You should have asked $20K! I think I got $14k out of it (been a few years). I made money on it. Was tired of finding stations that had diesel, changing 2 batteries, and expensive filter/fluid (oil, fuel, trans) changes. Plus it was long as hell and a pain in the ass to have in town. I don't mind not having it anymore but it was nice when I needed "big". Now... if I had a diesel mechanic like you posted yesterday local I would still have it and be thrilled every time it broke down. |

Doesn’t surprise me the first guy bought it. |

I sold my 04 F250 with 345,000 miles for $3900. Still ran great, but had rust. Trucks are expensive right now. You should get either side of $5K. But I would sell it during a big snow storm if it had a plow. Not in the summer. I was thinking about selling it in the spring or next fall. If I can get enough from it to pay for a new plow on a "new to me" F150 I'll be happy. |

Everybody wants a boat in the spring, nobody wants one right after season is over. I image a plow would be in demand in the fall like you said. Seldom try to sell right after Christmas when everyone is broke. |

Guys find money up here for plow trucks when there is a foot of snow down there 1/4 mile driveway. Christmas or not. |

You getting the lightweight job? Yep. All I need it for is my driveway. I go back and forth on limping my F250/plow along for as long as I need a snowplow, and getting a new set up. I need to go with the V8 if I put a plow on a 150. I could go with the 3.6 instead if I don't put a plow on. I think I'd prefer the 3.6. What I'm finding is that apparently the only way to get a snowplow prep package is if it comes from the factory that way. I've yet to find a used truck with that package. If you put a plow on without a factory package, it may void any warranties. |
